Ahhh, Malta in the 1970s.... Sunshine, British cars, the old buses, the beaches, Lyons Maid King Cones that cost only 5p ... I loved it!! Must go back again.
Sadly much progress has paved the way for developing changes which at times can tend to ruin and effect the island's heritage. Like take the trees around the Mosta dome church which recently were brutally trimmed leaving no branches for the regular fowl of the air to nest and rest in...😣🤷🏻♂️
Television when the level of English used for a children's programme is superior to the English used now for adult programmes. Furthermore, not a hint of an Americanism to be heard. Unlike today's English which is fast becoming indistinguishable from that of American English.
The British overlords would have been Protestant so would not have been in cahoots with the Catholic church.....in Ireland the English Protestant overlords did quite a lot of damage to the native Irish Catholic population @@carbugnov1952
An amazing amount of information packed into a short report. Magpie was fabulous.
I wasn't born until 82 but I love 70s style and fashion, this outfit she's wearing is perfection.
Agreed!
70's fashion was pure sh17e

Oh for goodness sake.
Beautiful images, a reminder of better times
Это Вам кажется. У каждой эпохи есть свое. Тогда жизнь тоже была тяжелой.
Nostalgia indeed and Jenny Hanley
Our children won't know this golden era existed in our country anymore. What a shame.
Here we are in 2023. Progress has been made but Malta has lost so much that was unique & pictureseque.

Agreed, and I'm American. I grew up listening to real English!
Apart from the outdated pronunciation, what makes this "level of English" high?? Languages change.

My nan would only holiday in Malta as she refused to buy a continental travel plug.
Silly old git!
I believe that the migrating birds mentioned are white wagtails. They used to roost over there and I think they still do.
When television tried to educate not indoctrinate.
sigh TV has always been biased.

Curious to know how the British colonial overlords treated the Catholic Maltese subjects during the occupation.
better to ask how the British colonial overlords and the Catholic Church together treated the Maltese subjects.
